Welcome to my Light in the Darkness meme! (If you missed my post on the inspiration for this meme, you can read all about it HERE.)

This
is the place to share good things that are happening in our
world...whether it's a link to a news article/video, something from your
personal experience...anything good that can bring light into darkness!

********************

There are so many things we take for granted in our lives...our sight, our physical mobility, our hearing. I can't imagine what it must have been like for this little boy to hear his dad's voice for the first time & what it was like for his parents to see the expression on his face.

Praying for an End to Abortion

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
(Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director Priests for Life)

Who Am I?

I'm a 40-something wife to a wonderful husband & mother of five munchkins (The Prophet, The Archangel, The Princess, The Saint, & a baby born into Heaven) Like most mothers, I wear many, many hats: wife, mother, doctor, teacher, chef, coach, referee, etc.

Prayer for St. Dymphna's Intercession

Lord God, Who has graciously chosen St. Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders, and has caused her to be an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her intercession, grant through the prayers of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from these disturbances, and especially to those for whom we now pray. (Here mention those for whom you wish to pray.)

We beg You to accept and grant the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant to those we have particularly recommended patience in their sufferings and resignation to Your Divine Will. Fill them with hope and, if it is according to Your Divine Plan, bestow upon them the cure they so earnestly desire. Grant this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
